Willkie is representing Hillcore Energy Capital Corporation in its alliance with Fermi Inc. (NASDAQ:FRMI)(LSE:FRMI) for the construction of a Hillcore power complex at Fermi’s Project Matador campus, one of the world's largest advanced energy and AI ecosystems, in Carson County, Texas.
On August 11, Fermi announced the execution of a framework agreement with Hillcore under which Hillcore will finance, build, own and operate the Hillcore Power Center, an approximately 2.6 GW power complex at the Project Matador campus, under a Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) structure. Hillcore and its partners will finance and own the facility on their own balance sheets while Fermi delivers dedicated, behind-the-meter power with no upfront capital expenditure.
Hillcore Energy Capital Corporation is an entity owned by Hillcore Group, a Canadian private investment firm with more than $6 billion in assets under management, and JV Driver Group, an industrial contractor with over three decades of major-project delivery.
The Willkie team is led by partners Chase Proctor, Eric Pogue and Hannah Frank and includes partners Dale Smith, John Bain, Adam Turteltaub and Addison Perkins, and associate Rachael Williams.
